Actually, a 1020 pin FPGA would be pretty easy to make in Geda.  The
file format is text-based and completely open.  Generating the
footprint is dead simple, and you could easily write a simple perl
script to read an FPGA vendor's pin list and generate a schematic
symbol.  This is really the strong side of open source software --
it's incredibly powerful if you don't mind doing a little bit of
coding.
